KiteLife Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hey guys, at the Niagara Falls Kite Festival this weekend... Snapped off a few shots yesterday, flying right over (and in front of) the falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I wondered if someone was going to try that. Those are super pictures. What were the winds like there? I can only imagine the rush of flying with all that going on around you. Every shot is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureAng Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 nice shots, I can't wait to see more. Too bad I couldn't make it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Winds have been really bad at that location, it's known for the view, not the flying. But tomorrow, we go to a reservoir park with a lot more room and better wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 My picture of Scarlette's maiden flight will be posted when I return to Maryland. John's right, the winds at the falls were very tough. On the other hand I went up to the power resevoir state park and flew. WOW! I flew Scarlette for a little while and the winds got to be too much. I took out my vented B and even then the winds were yanking me off my feet at times. I am looking forward to going back there tomorrow and Sunday. -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousieo Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Great Pics John. wow. Wish I was there to see all this. Are the winds anything like the ones at Smith Rock? Just curious. Did you get any pics of that? What a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey guys, at the Niagara Falls Kite Festival this weekend... Snapped off a few shots yesterday, flying right over (and in front of) the falls. I think the third photo (on the right) is exceptionally interesting!

lummas Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 John, those shots are sweeeet! When we went there a year or 2 ago I thought about trying to fly. The wind around the top is horrible with all that rushing water, so kudos to you for these nice shots. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitedog Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Awesome pics by all. I am loving this thread. I think I will start taking pics with one of my revs everywhere I go. Instead of bringing a garden gnome or a red sofa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 John Your photos are really something. It has to be very difficult to fly over that water. Although not as spectacular as Niagara, here are a couple of photos Lynn took of me flying last week at Kolob Canyon, near Zion National Park in southern Utah.

AldenMiller Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I know that John posted his Niagara Falls shots but he wasn't flying Scarlette. This is a shot of Scarlette's maiden flight. John is right the winds their were very difficult so Scarlette didn't fly much. The winds would change 180 degrees in an instant. One moment she'd be flying fine and the next she'd be blowing towards me... So, this is a picture of my Masterpiece Rev flying at a famous landmark. -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJJoe01 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Alden, Great picture!!! Sounds like you had a great time! Cristina told me you helped her out picking out a rev for me; that was awesome and a complete surprise!! I am going to try to fly it after work tomorrow at Sandy Point. I hope the wind will be strong enought. Thanks, Joe PS the scottish ale was wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I promised I would try to do this for a long time and today I was able to do it. Next time I will take another person with me to handle the camera. {Yahoo News}CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Discovery and a crew of seven rocketed into orbit Tuesday at 11:38 a.m., ducking through clouds.

mrdenny Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thank you. I was trying the one handed stuff talked about on another thread. (thanks JB) I felt like I had it down for a simple hover but the dynamics changed totally when I added trying to point the camera. I didn't post the other 10 pictures of the ground and empty sky.

AldenMiller Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hah! That's what happens to me also. I do ok with some simple flying but pull out the camera or cell phone to take a picture and I am all over the place. I'll tell you, trying this one handed flying makes what Steve does even more impressive! -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
